What do ancient Aboriginal ceremonies, Red Bull's elite performance labs, and billion-dollar founders all have in common? They've discovered what most entrepreneurs desperately ignore: your nervous system doesn't distinguish between being chased by a rhino and surviving a Series A round.
In this conversation, Jack Swift—serial entrepreneur, former leader of a $30B VC firm, and advisor to elite athletes and executives—reveals why the most cutting-edge human performance centers are quietly using techniques that are thousands of years old. From witnessing world-class athletes completely rewire their brains in the Australian Outback to understanding why fear of success might be your biggest blocker, Jack breaks down the mechanics of what it really takes to lead in the human-machine era.
We explore the electromagnetic field of the heart, the collapse of the "hustle harder" paradigm, and why the next Renaissance is already happening—with you and AI sitting around the same fire. Jack shares why biology always beats ideology, how emotions drive your energetic field far more than your brain, and the deceptively simple invitation that changes everything: slow down, listen to your breath, then listen to your heart.
This isn't theory. This is the blueprint that elite performers use to drop fear, dissolve impostor syndrome, and build from flow instead of force.
In this episode:

Why ancient practitioners and modern performance labs use the same tools
The real reason your system treats fundraising like a survival threat
How human-machine collaboration can accelerate wisdom, not replace it
The permission slip to stop hustling and start creating from joy
